🎉 Today we celebrate one year with Harmony Hobbs, our Strategic Communications Director! In her 12 months, Harmony has brought creativity, strategy, and a strong commitment to storytelling to her work—helping elevate the Alliance’s mission, amplify important conversations about education, and connect Baton Rouge families and community members to the work happening for students.
